A beautiful perfect rose from my garden, thought I would do something different with it so put the frame round.

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717
einer Form, ohne das in den unsichtbaren Teilen derselben sich eine neue Form zu bilden anfange, die mit der Zeit sich den Sinnen offenbart. Jeder Untergang ziehlt auf eine Entstehung, jeder Tod bahnt den Weg zu einem neuen Leben.

Bodman, Lake Constance, Germany on a cold day.
The picture shows one of the locations that I am drawn to several times a year, especially in the early and late seasons. I especially like it when there are no boats here and the whole area is completely deserted. In winter on Lake Constance, you never know for sure whether it was another pandemic that finally allowed nature to rest, or whether a zombie apocalypse has taken place and we are, of course, the last to find out. Personally, I always discover the beauty of slowness here, without sailing boats, surfboards and tourists. The latter jump around here like they've been bitten by a monkey. Which raises the question again of what was actually going on here... ;)
Im Bild sieht man eine der Locations, zu denen ich mich mehrmals im Jahr hingezogen fühle. Besonders in der Vor- und der Nachsaison. Ich mag es ganz besonders, wenn hier keine Boote liegen und die ganze Gegend völlig ausgestorben ist. Man weiß im Winter am Bodensee nie so ganz genau, ob es nun wieder eine Pandemie war, die die Natur endlich ruhen lässt oder ob nun doch eine Zombie-Apokalypse stattgefunden hat, und wir natürlich wieder die letzten sind, die es erfahren. Ich persönlich entdecke hier stets die Schönheit der Langsamkeit, ohne Segelboote, Surfbretter und Touristen. Letztere springen hier ja herum, wie vom Affen gebissen. Was erneut die Frage aufwirft, was hier eigentlich los war…;)
Thank you for your visits, faves and comments!

La Graciosa es una pequeña isla perteneciente a la provincia de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Forma parte del archipiélago Chinijo, junto con los islotes de Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste y Alegranza, y todos ellos forman parte del municipio de Teguise, en la Isla de Lanzarote.
En Caleta del Sebo, lugar a donde llegan los barcos desde Órzola en Lanzarote, es donde se concentra toda la infraestructura de alojamiento, con pensiones, casas para estancias prolongadas, apartementos e incluso una zona de camping acondicionada con zona de duchas y baños.
Esta isla es probablemente uno de los pocos lugares de Europa donde todavía no hay carreteras asfaltadas. Es la más desconocida y la que derrocha más serenidad de las Islas Canarias.
Nosotros visitamos el casco urbano de Caleta del Sebo, y efectuamos una visita andando a las playas del sur de la isla, Playa Francesa y Playa de la Cocina. Las oportunidades turísticas de la isla son mucho mayores dependiendo del tiempo de la estancia en la misma.

The forms of the landscape on this ridge were either beautiful or bizarre.
It was strange to peer at the sky through the small opening on the left. From certain angles I could see distant landmarks through the opening.
The mangled shrub remnant on the right couldn't have been any more fitting for the place. It had just that certain feeling of character and history to it.
La renoncule flammette (Ranunculus flammula), la petite douve ou la petite flamme, est une espèce de plante herbacée de la famille des Renonculacées qui pousse dans les milieux humides.
Ranunculus flammula, the lesser spearwort, greater creeping spearwort or banewort, is a species of perennial herbaceous plants in the genus Ranunculus (buttercup), growing in damp places throughout the Boreal Kingdom. It flowers June/July. Ranunculus flammula is poisonous. It is very closely related to R. reptans, which is distinguished by prostrate and more slender stems, narrower leaves and smaller flowers and is sometimes included within R. flammula sensu lato as a variety (R. flammula var. reptans (L.) E. Meyer).
In addition to other forms of pollination, this plant is adapted to rain-pollination.

L’homme se sait inachevé. Cependant, la société est le lieu des formes fixes, et, par l’Etat et les institutions, exige de l’individu, sous la menace, l’aliénation à ces formes. De sorte que l’individu est sans cesse dépossédé de lui-même, de son essence créatrice. Les formes n’évoluent pas, ou n’évoluent guère.
Philosopher à l'infini - Marcel Conche
Testigo del transito de peregrinos y viajeros que procedían del norte, este arco formaba parte de una de las tres puertas del primer recinto defensivo del monasterio, el que incluía la plaza. Tenía función de control administrativo y fiscal de la Puebla. El arco presenta en su frente norte la imagen de San Pedro, ubicado en una hornacina en el año 1861.

Taken back in May, and to be honest, I've no idea as to what it was, not a clue, but the points of light were extremely tiny. Definitely a macro, just wish I could remember 'a macro of what'!
Thank you for visiting. Your comments and/or faves are greatly appreciated.
6 miles form home, on Lake Toho, in Florida. Definitely, my lucky day.

MLC Centre architecture cannot be overlooked. With elegantly contoured, stark white concrete, white quartz and glass, the façade presents itself as a handsomely moulded sculpture.
Harry Seidler AC QBE is a luminary of Australian architecture. Widely considered as the first architect to fully express the Bauhaus aesthetic here. The MLC Centre remains one of his most definitive works on the Sydney Skyline.
244m to antenna and 227m to roof. The MLC Centre was Sydney’s tallest building in Sydney from 1977 to 1992. It is currently the fifth tallest building behind the Meriton World Tower (230m), Deutsche Bank Place (240m), Citigroup Centre (243m) and Chifley Tower (244m). The tallest structure in Sydney is still the Sydney Tower at 309m.
Ce canard de surface est légèrement plus grand, possède un cou un peu plus long et un bec plus important que la Sarcelle d'hiver. En livrée nuptiale, le mâle est typique et immédiatement identifiable : une large bande blanche en forme de demi-cercle démarre en arrière de l'oeil et aboutit jusqu'à la nuque. Le reste de la tête, du cou et de la poitrine sont brun rougeâtre sombre et provoque un contraste saisissant avec les flancs gris pâle accentué encore par les scapulaires allongées et rayées de noir et de blanc.
Supongo que este lema, no es un tópico al uso publicitario ... Tiene unas certeras bases ya que en la realidad ,desde el aire la isla de Bora Bora Parece una ostra con su perla en el centro...O será porque lo más valioso, monetariamente hablando , es el cultivo de la perla negra.
Capricho apto para pocos bolsillos. Este atolón coralino de forma acorazonada tiene los cielos que pintó Gauguin y siempre aparece un arco iris, en algún momento del día ...o en varios.. , aunque sea pequeño e imperceptible como es en este caso. Se pueden observar en la obra del pintor, los elementos del folclore de la isla, las cosas que veía, intentando ir más allá de ellas. Su paleta se enriqueció con colores puros y cálidos creando un vocabulario personal y un estilo lleno de simbolismo y gran fuerza expresiva tal como la Polinesia misma!
Alplochschlucht
Die knapp 30 Kilometer lange Dornbirner Ach ist ein wichtiger Abfluss für die kleinen Bäche im Bregenzerwaldgebirge in Vorarberg. Südöstlich von Dornbirn hat sich der Fluss dabei in Form der beiden tiefen und engen Schluchten des Rappenlochs und des Alplochs in die hier teils senkrecht stehenden Kalksteinschichten des Gebirges eingeschnitten. Die etwa 700 Meter lange Alplochschlucht wurde 1902 durch einen schmalen Weg erschlossen. Dabei verläuft der Steg teils frei über dem Wasser der Dornbirner Ach. Durch den Felsen rechterhand verläuft zu dem ein Wassertunnel, welches das Kraftwerk Ebensand mit Wasser zur Stromerzeugung versorgt.

The Alploch Gorges near Dornbirn is one of the largest gorges in Central Europe. Some adventurous footbridges lead through them since 1902.

The katana belongs to the nihontō family of swords, and is distinguished by a blade length (nagasa) of more than 2 shaku, approximately 60 cm (24 in).Katana can also be known as dai or daitō among Western sword enthusiasts, although daitō is a generic name for any Japanese long sword, literally meaning "big sword".[ As Japanese does not have separate plural and singular forms, both katanas and katana are considered acceptable forms in English.
Pronounced [katana], the kun'yomi (Japanese reading) of the kanji 刀, originally meaning dao or knife/saber in Chinese, the word has been adopted as a loanword by the Portuguese. In Portuguese the designation (spelled catana) means "large knife" or machete.
Quoting visit Norway.com: Helleren - "Hedlaren" - forms a natural roof and shelter that have been taken advantage of by people for thousands of years. Helleren is large - the drop fall measures at its deepest 10 metres. The two houses do not have proper roofing- simply because they are protected by Helleren - and this is also the reason why these two houses and this landscape provide a unique and special experience. Both houses date back from the 1800s, however large parts of the buildings might be considerably older. Most probably, there has been settlements under Helleren from the 1500s.
Wikipedia: Pancake ice forms in conditions of high wave activity, in contrast to other types of sea ice formed under calm conditions. Pancake ice can form in two processes: (1) on water covered to some degree in slush, shuga or grease ice, or (2) from breaking of ice rind, nilas or even gray ice in agitated conditions.[3] If the waves are strong enough, pancakes can raft over each other, creating an uneven top and bottom surface on the ice. At this point, the pancake ice will fuse together and amalgamate into an ice sheet. This ice sheet will continue to grow over the winter. This process increases pancake ice's resilience, resulting in characteristic length scales less than ocean wavelengths and causing waves passing through pancake ice not to scatter.[3]

Puerta Sur Angkor Thom-Siem Reap-Camboya.
Angkor Thom está ubicada al lado del río Siem Reap y se halla fortificada por una muralla que, formando un rectángulo de 9 km2 (es decir 3 km por lado), se orienta hacia los puntos cardinales. Su nombre significa "Gran Ciudad" y se mantuvo como capital desde 1181 al menos hasta el siglo XVII.
La puerta sur de Angkor Thom es la puerta de entrada más frecuente al templo debido a su disposición ya que enlaza directamente con la carretera que vá a Angkor Wat.
La Puerta Sur está representada por 4 cabezas cada una en dirección a los 4 puntos cardinales representando a divinidades como Brahma (dios hindú), la cara del rey considerada otra divinidad también se encuentra representada en esta puerta al igual que Buda. En la parte inferior se pueden ver varias figuras de Erawan (elefante sagrado)
Todas las entradas son precedidas por un puente que cruza el canal que rodea la ciudad. Cada puente está custodiado por dos filas de figuras gigantes que empujan unas enormes nagas. A la izquierda los dioses y a la derecha los demonios luchando para crear el primigenio Mar de Leche.
Sure, Jagger and Richards formed a rock band, The Game of Thrones, which performed at Buckingham Palace, where Mona Lisa had rented a room, the daily rate was a bargain. Well, her charm soon put the boys under her feet and Mona became the lead singer of the band.
All was fine till Darth Vader decides to enter as lead guitarist. Gosh! His terrible riffs were real squeaky. Once, they were performing at Westminster Abbey, but fast the ghost from Richard the Lionheart put everyone out, he was unable to sleep with that noise.
We suspect it was Rasputin who slipped LSD into afternoon tea.
The result : everybody experienced !!!
Lots of crazy nights with sex, afternoon tea and Rock&Roll.
The Stones.....I mean....The Rolling of Thrones were at the top, Leonardo was designing covers for the rock bands, doing graffiti Art around the royal palaces. And afternoon tea, for sure.
Ooooops ! Were was Mona ? Mona was bored of bad boys and afternoon tea, she went to make a Netflix series with Tom Cruise.
Depressed, Jagger left the band, and converted to Judaism.
And there was the unforgettable and crazy episode with Batman. But I can't remember, because I also had afternoon tea enough.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. Even so, it's normal that at this point, and looking at Mona's photo above, you ask me: who the hell is the child's father ?
И от осени не спрятаться, не скрыться....
Maple, (Acer), any of a large genus (about 200 species) of shrubs or trees in the family Sapindaceae, widely distributed in the North Temperate Zone but concentrated in China. Maples constitute one of the most important groups of ornamentals for planting in lawns, along streets, and in parks. They offer a great variety of form, size, and foliage; many display striking autumn colour. Several yield maple syrup, and some provide valuable, dense hard wood for furniture and other uses. All maples bear pairs of winged seeds, called samaras or keys. The leaves are arranged oppositely on twigs. Many maples have lobed leaves, but a few have leaves separated into leaflets.
